TMD refers to inflammation or malalignment of the joints (TMJ) connecting your jaw to your cheekbone. Temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are the “hinges” on either side of your face that connect your jaw to your cheek bones. These joints are unique in their hinging and sliding mobility, allowing your jaw to open, shift left and right, and move forward and backward.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, you may have TMD:

We’re committed to finding suitable non-surgical options that work long-term and optimize your jaw joint health. More conservative, non-surgical options have been developed to reduce the pressure on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), alleviate jaw pain, and promote healthy activity. Surgery is often the last line of defense and is rarely needed for TMD.
While TMD is more common among patients in their 20s to 40s, children can develop TMD. Making sure your child regularly goes to biannual dental or orthodontic exams can ensure TMD is diagnosed properly.
